Salon Chinois

Inspired by the fashion for all things Asian that swept through Europe at the end of the 19th century, the Chinese Salon once again bears witness to the Maison Boucheron's passion for faraway beautiful horizons. The room's elegant dimensions and made-to-measure moldings on its wall panels make the Salon an exceptional work of craftsmanship. The deep red "Martin varnish" used to adorn it give this mythical room at the heart of the boutique at 26, Place Vendôme a secret and intimate ambiance that was much sought-after at the time. Indeed, the Salon featured two window displays, one of which was in reality a hidden doorway giving onto a secret space for clients who wished for the utmost confidentiality.
